No. 7 North Carolina tops Winston-Salem St 101-38

All her players got some minutes in Saturday's 101-38 rout of
Winston-Salem State, with guards Cetera DeGraffenreid scoring 15
points and Italee Lucas 14 as six Tar Heels scored in double
figures.

``This was good to let everybody get some time out there because
the rest of the way all we've got is ACC and UConn," Hatchell
said. "Different people are stepping up. It was good we were
able to let a lot of kids play."

North Carolina (12-1) got 12 points from She'la White, 11 from
Trinity Bursey and 10 each from Martina Wood and Cierra
Robertson-Warren.

"Some of our kids are scoring well, but we're just trying to get
their defense a little bit better," Hatchell added. "Some people
didn't grade out as high as they should have (in the previous
game), especially defensively."

Taneisha White led Winston-Salem State (2-10) with a career-high
10 points.

When the game was scheduled, the Rams were reclassifying members
of NCAA Division I but the school announced in the fall that it
would return to Division II next season.

"Our game plan was we wanted to score 45 points and have less
than 25 turnovers," Winston-Salem coach Dee Stokes said. "We
didn't accomplish either of those."

Tar Heels guard Tierra Ruffin-Pratt injured her right shoulder
about seven minutes into the game and did not return. Hatchell
said X-rays showed the shoulder was not fractured and her
playing status was still to be determined.

Sophomore center Chay Shegog missed her second straight game
with concussion symptoms.

The Tar Heels led 53-22 at halftime after score the first 13
points of the game before DeGraffenreid and Lucas got into the
action. UNC made several trips down the floor with a three-guard
lineup, including White with the starters.

"It's always fun when you have three different people up there
who can push the ball up and down the court ," DeGraffenreid
said. "If you don't get it, you know they're going to get it and
push it down the floor. It's been fun."
